Spicy Panneer Bhurji

I love Panneer, esp. home made crumbled panneer - just fresh off the heat. It has been ages since I made panneer and especially this recipe. So here goes.. Ingredients (serves 2):
For the panneer
Milk - 1 litre
Vinegar - 1 capful
Curd - 1 tablespoon

For the Bhurji

Panneer - made from above

1 onion - finely choppped

1/2 capsicum - finely chopped - I used a large one. Use a full capsicum if the size is small. (optional)

1/2 cup shelled peas

1 cup tomato puree

1 tbsp ginger and garlic paste

1 tsp red chilli powder

1/2 tsp garam masala powder

A pinch of kasuri methi

1 tsp cumin/jeera seeds

A pinch of tumeric powder

salt to taste

How I made it :-

For the panneer
In a pan, bring the milk to a boil. Add the curd and vinegar. The milk will curdle. Strain out the liquid and retain it. It can be used for making extra soft rotis or for naans. Make sure to drain out as much liquid as you can from the panneer - I use a cloth and tie the panneer in that while I proceed with the rest.
